I read a few pages of the P2P chapter and I realise that my original question is a bit wonky. The P2P classes do not provide a means of communication per se, they seem to be mostly related to registration and discovery, which is done through a Windows service. Peer apps register themselves with an ID, a port and a naming convention, then they can discover each other, but after that the ball is in your court. It looks like the P2P classes just help all the peers find each other, then it's up to you to use the port and ID you find to start communicating in an appropriate manner, whatever you choose that to be. So it doesn't really work the way I naively expected, and may not be appropriate for my simple needs of everyone broadcasting to everyone else (a kind of chat I guess!). However, I have more reading to go and if I find anything startling I'll let you know. *Greg K*
